This is part of a series that is going to span 365 days. Some things will be subtle other activities will be more involved.

Before I begin with day 196, I must defer you to our Terms and Conditions .

Doctors and nurses lacking empathy often raise patient fears as well as bring into their patients’ minds doubts about their abilities to diagnose.

Day 196: Pretend to have a medical condition
Take some time today to research a medical condition. Learn its symptoms, as well as its end stage. Pick a stage of the illness you would like to pretend you are at. See if anyone notices, if anyone asks you let it all out. Tell them what is wrong, that you have XYZ malnoma and you need to see the doctor again on __.

How involved you get with this is up to you. Consider this an experiment to study human empathy and sympathy. Are any people receptive to your problems or do they carry on as usual? Fakeing an illness can be a great way for you to help determine someone else’s character. At the end of the day if any of your friends or family caught on just blame Excommunicate.
